Senator Pat Roberts, a Republican from Kansas, says more money could cure some of the issues at the VA, nationwide. Roberts says an antiquated computer system for record keeping dates back to the 1990’s and it has to go.

Roberts points to a long waiting list, with some veterans waiting more than 90 days for care. He says a new computer record system could help get that list down, and move up care for veterans.

“And they were on a list and that’s largely just because the MS-DOS system doesn’t work that well,” says Roberts. “That’s way behind in regards to information technology.”

KSN continues to press for answers about long wait times, standard of care, VA responses and the need for answers in the wake of the VA scandal.
